Telkonet's close partner....Johnson Controls Expands at Chicago's Merchandise Mart.

Combining technologies from its two Milwaukee area businesses, Johnson Controls Inc. this week is unveiling its first products for the energy storage market for buildings.

The distributed energy storage business is using lithium-ion batteries that Johnson Controls manufactures for hybrid vehicles and incorporating them into storage systems that use controls and software from the company's building efficiency business.

The company has landed the Merchandise Mart building in Chicago as a customer for a small in-the-building storage system and is working to commission a large system at a U.S. military base in Puerto Rico....

...Chicago’s iconic Merchandise Mart is the world’s largest LEED-EBOM-certified building and the world’s largest commercial building. It covers 2 city blocks, encompasses 4.2 million square feet, houses scores of tenants, stores, and trade shows, and welcomes 10 million visitors a year. Keeping all those people comfortable in an energy efficient manner is a massive challenge -- especially during Chicago’s severe summers and winters.

I have no knowledge that Telkonet is involved in this project, but I wouldn't be surprised if we start to get involved in these super large buildings. I suspect the Duetsche financing deal is geared toward this type of project....
